I'm trying to save the following inside a textarea to one of my models:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar7PxP76o28" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
However this is what it actually ends up saving:
<iframe width=\"560\" \r\nheight=\"315\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar7PxP76o28\" \r\nframeborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Is there any way I can prevent it from escaping the html? I'm trying to render a youtube embeded video inside of the show view using the following code:
= @foo.content.html_safe
However the html_safe helper doesn't seem to work if the html is escaped like this. I also tried swapping out html_safe with a raw wrapper but that didn't seem to work either.
As Zabba suggested there was actually a third-party involved that was causing this issue and not Rails itself. In my case I was using the Aloha WYSIWYG editor which was sanitizing any custom HTML that I added to my form without my permission.
